East High School - Eastonian Yearbook (Kansas City, MO)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1939 volume:

CONTENTS= = ADMINISTRATION ☆ SENIORS ☆ CLASSI Inspired by the leadership of two fine men and an equally capable, estimable faculty, East High School has taken immeasurable strides in the past year toward the forming of a more perfect institution of learning. Confronted this year by many diverse problems, our instructing division was reorganized and a number of additions made to our teaching staff. New and old alike were faced with the task of making new friendships and acquaintances, learning different ways and means of executing our principal's directions. Each has done his utmost to fulfill these special requirements, and has striven to attain higher planes in the ever growing realm of education. It is to this new and faithful administration that we, the student body of East High School and the Eastonian staff of 1939, do hereby dedicate our publication. ACTIVITIES ☆ HERE AND THERE w Dear Seniors You hear so much about threats of war, depressions, recessions and unemployment, that you probably feel that you are graduating from high school at a very unfortunate time. No doubt you sometimes agree with Hamlet, who said: The world is out of joint, O, cursed spite, That ever I was bom to set it right. The tragedy of Hamlet is due to his own failure to meet the issues of life with courage. How much better it would be if those who are going out to meet the problems of modern unrest, could face life with Rupert Brooke's philosophy: Now God be thanked, who hath matched us with this hour. Difficulties in one's path are challenges, which if properly met, tend to build character. There are many opportunities for people with character and ambition, who are willing to work and do their best. With the best of wishes for each of you, I am, Sincerely yours, J. L. LAUGHLIN. [ Pagr Eight MR LAUGHLIN WELCOME “There is a destiny that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone; All we send into the lives of others Comes back into our own. A long and faithful servant at Central High School, Mr. J. L. Laughlin, newly appointed principal at East, has visibly proven his worth here. In the small town of Stanley, Kansas, he was born and spent some of his early childhood; from there he moved to Welda, Kansas, and thence to Kansas City. Strangely enough, the family residence here was at 1331 Central, the present site of the new Municipal Auditorium. As a student, he attended Lathrop Elementary School in the present building and also Humboldt grade school, which stood where the new City Hall was recently erected. Not long after, he was graduated from old Central High School at Eleventh and Locust. There, under Mr. C. H. Nowlin, former principal at East, Mr. Laughlin was instructed in the fundamental principles of psychology and physiology. Continuing his education, Mr. Laughlin spent two years at Kansas University studying engineering, and completed work for his Bachelor of Arts degree in Science and Education at the University of Chicago; he has also done graduate work in Chicago, Colorado and Missouri Universities, and is a member of the Phi Delta Kappa, national educational fraternity. At present, he is an officer and active member of the Linwood Presbyterian Church. It was in 1921 that he began an eventful career as vice-principal at Central, which lasted for eighteen years. Now that this year is rapidly drawing to a close, and Mr. Laughlin is more and more becoming an indispensable part of our East High Family, we realize what a great loss his absence must be to Central—what an asset to us! Energetic, alert, friendly, sympathetic—indeed, a man well worth knowing! And so, welcome, Mr. Laughlin, from the student body and from the faculty. All we send into the lives of others comes back into our own ? What a full and serene and happy life you must lead! mr. McMillan SERVICES “Work—work—work! My labor never flags— When is the Senior election? How about the Senior ballot? “Do we get to have a class play? 'May the Departmental Clubs plan a dance? These are but a few of the many intricate questions confronting our capable vice-principal, Mr. Harry McMillan. As advisor for the Senior class and of Literary and Departmental Inter-club Councils, Mr. McMillan finds himself faced with seemingly insurmountable problems, but it’s with a cheery smile and a grim determination that he tackles each new task. Under the Senior class duties are the rings—where to buy them—at what price and with what design; the dance—how to collect dues—where to have it; the Senior play—which play to produce— how to urge support. The invitations, caps and gowns, and graduation programs are also important factors. Mr. McMillan, as sponsor and co-originator of the Literary and Departmental Inter-club Councils here at East, must see that problems involving either of these organizations are discussed, weighed and dealt with as fairly as possible in problems concerning all clubs. The purpose of these representative meetings is to make regulations uniform, discuss plans for dances held by each, and iron out any other difficulties. In preparation for holding so responsible a position, Mr. McMillan received the major part of his education in Warrensburg, Missouri, where he was born. After graduation from high school there, he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Central Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg. He has also done graduate work in Missouri University and is a member of Phi Delta Kappa, national honorary professional fraternity. Before coming to Kansas City, he was in school administration work for sixteen and a half years. Previous to his appointment at East he was stationed as principal at the E. C. Meservey elementary school. With so remarkable a background, is it any wonder that Mr. McMillan is so successfully fulfilling his duties here? My wish is that each of you may be of service to others, and thus be happy, for this is real success. Have faith that your education has prepared you physically, morally, and intellectually to occupy honorable positions of service, and thus reflect honor to your parents, and credit to this institution from which you graduate. Respectfully yours, harry McMillan. KANSAS CITY SCHOOL OFFICIALS Mr. George Melcher_______________________________Superintendent of Schools Mr. John L.

I Page Twenty The Student Council has been organized to promote a closer cooperation between the faculty and the student body and to promote participation in the school administration. Thus reads the purpose of the Student Council as stated by its first semester president, Mary Betty Claunch. Through representation in the Student Council the entire student body has been able to voice its opinion in school affairs. Real cooperation has been the keynote of its success during the past year. The Student Council has held a unique place in helping interpret and enforce the changes in regulations under the new administration. Naturally this has been a trying situation but through the efficient services of our student representatives the school body has come through with comparatively few misunderstandings. One of the most important accomplishments during the current year was the all-school executive board meeting held here at East High School. The council feel that in doing this they not only have aided in promoting cooperation at East but have also drawn the different schools to a closer understanding of each other. Mr. Melcher was greatly pleased to learn that our East High School student representatives were able to figure out some way to use the school cafeteria other than simply for the serving of meals. East, according to Miss Hatch's report, is about the only high school to have accomplished this. Miss Louise Hatch and Miss Nora Boone are the efficient advisors of the Council. Although they do much to aid the student representatives when called upon, most of the decisions are made by the students themselves. The work of the advisors is invaluable in its worth.

Antoinette Milazzo Virginia Schmidt ____Armand Spizzirri ----Donald Kumpy This year a new method of election of officers was introduced by the administration. In the early part of the first semester large primary election ballots on which were placed the nominees for the Senior officers were distributed to the various classrooms. Each senior placed the names of his selection for the seven best qualified seniors on these ballots. A committee counted the votes, leaving only the seven candidates receiving the highest number of votes on the list. These seven names were then placed on the electoral ballots, which were circulated among the seniors. After carefully weighing these over in his mind each senior placed numbers opposite the names, indicating those he chose for the highest offices and so on. The outcome of this was the final returns, ending the most important election campaign of the year. The Senior officers are very important in the school routine. They form the committee which chooses the senior rings and also, with the helpful advice of Mr. McMillan, do the basic planning of all the senior activities.

Sergeant-at-Arms The electing of Junior officers followed the same new system that the Seniors used. At the meeting of the Juniors, it was decided to have class dues amounting to fifty cents. This money was used to give a Prom for the Seniors. Eugene Sabin, who was elected president, was president of his Freshman class. He has been awarded letters for both football and basketball. Ellis Clark was an officer of his Sophomore class and his work in football has also made him a letter man. The gift receiver of the Juniors, Mary Ellen Nichols, is a member of the Leundis Literary Society and was vice-president of her Freshman class. Loren Alice Heady, the reporter, is also a member of the Leundis Literary Society and has been elected to fill the office of president for Commercial Club next year.

On May 18, those same thirty-eight Seniors marched happily and triumphantly down the aisle for the installation ceremony. The members were chosen on the basis of those four high standards—scholarship, character, leadership, and service. In the year 1924, the National Honor Society was founded for all the high schools throughout the United States. East High took quick advantage of this organization for the East Chapter was established the first year of the school. Members of the first graduation class were on the National Honor Society. From that year on, each spring has brought a new group of members to this honorary society. Those eligible are the students in the upper quartile of the class, and only fifteen per cent of the class may be elected to membership. Students must have been in East at least one year besides being outstanding in the four principles of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. A Senior's scholastic record plus his activities form the primary basis for his election, after a character recommendation by the faculty. When he attains this goal he has reached the greatest height possible in his high school career. Miss Hiatt Miss May Farr Hiatt is chairman of the National Honor Society committee. The other members are Miss Evelyn Gilchrist, Mr. J. N. Broadlick, and Mr. R. E. Tiefel. Members of the N. H. S.: Edith Ashley Wanda Ball Lee Brown Mary Betty Claunch Robert Cohlmeyer Betty Coleman Bill Crawford Lois Flournoy Fern Francis Dorothy Gaba Robert Gaunt Chester Harden Harold Harmon David Hastings Alletta Heller Betty Rose Henthom Mary Jacques Max Johnson Patricia Lavery Elvira Lorenz Smith McDonald Louise McNamara Antoinette Milazzo Margaret Overman Dorothy Quackenbush Maxine Roberts Ellen Schaefer Virginia Schmidt Bob Shornick Max Siler Peggy Snelson Armand Spizzirri June Stanton Virginia Sue Sympson Mary Jane Tolley Charles Trent Claydine Walker Betty Whitescarver SENIORS The Senior Ballot The Senior Ballot represents the most outstanding students in the graduating class. It includes practically all talents. The members of the senior class choose those to be on the ballot about the middle of the first semester. During the first three years of their high school career, the students work to obtain the'positions on the ballot and during their last year they strive to uphold the standard which they have set in the previous years. There are twelve offices for boys and twelve for girls. Of these, eleven are voted on by the members of the senior class, but one, the highest ranking boy and girl student, is taken from the official record in the office. The members of the ballot do not have any duties to perform as the officers of the senior class do. The Senior Ballot was created chiefly for the purpose of honoring the outstanding students of the East high school graduating classes. May their ambitions always be realized.

Nurse's Office Girls Each year a few of the senior girls work in Miss Walton's office as aids. These girls are allowed to take care of persons with minor injuries such as cuts, but all the emergency work is done by the school nurse herself. The girls do not have the authority to excuse a pupil from school at any time. Those who have work in the office this year are Louise Velgner, Betty Sharts, Hope Hayward, Peggy Snelson, Ruby Switzer, and Geraldine Cummings. Margaret Ann Neff has charge of the files. LIBRARIANS Always on hand when the pupils need information on any subject whatsoever, are the librarians of the East Branch of the Public Library. Besides catering to the public, these ladies have a job on their hands filling the demands of the students and teachers here at the high school. Foremost in this work is the librarian, Miss Jacqueline Cravens. Under her are the assistants, Miss Sarah Bower and Miss Idris Smith. Also at the East Branch is the children's librarian, Miss Florence Winslow, and her assistant, Mrs. George Calvert The pages, whose duty it is to keep the books straight in the shelves, are Ralph Grigsby, a student at Central, and his assistant, Allen Smith, a former student at East.

The iirst sponsor of the club was Mr. Wahlstedt, who later became vice-principal of the school. The name Kalailu is Hawaiian for friendship and primarily expresses the principle of the club. The fundamental purpose of the society is to provide an organization for the study and production of literature and to create a closer friendship among its members through the association. The advisors are Miss Emir F. Ammerman and Mr. R. E. Tiefel. SONG Two by two, we go marching through, Kalailu on parade; We mark the time, for we head the line, Kalailu on parade!

Lois Flournoy Dorothy Benton The Leundis Literary Society, pioneer all-girl society at East, was organized in November, 1926. Her purpose is to give her members an opportunity to meet and pursue social and literary interest, and inspire them with higher ideals. Thus, the name Leundis was devised from the three principles of the society: LEarning UNderstanding Discernment In Leundis, as in all literary societies, the chief aim is to win first place in the annual literary contest. The achievements of Leundis in this respect may be noted in her winning seven first places in eleven contests Page Seventy-five ] I J SB Leundis Literary Society LITERARY [ Page Seventy-six Third Row: Brown Cohlmeyer, Crawford, Gaunt, Staf, Harrison, Spizzirri, Shornick.

HAMILTON The older of the two all-boy societies in the school, the Hamilton Literary Society was founded in 1928. It was founded for the purposes of promoting good fellowship and a finer feeling for the literary arts. The Hamilton colors are blue and white. As is done in most literary societies, the Hamiltons present programs at their weekly meetings, in order to develop their talents for the spring Lit Contest. Being a brother club to Leundis, it holds social functions with that society. In the last two years, Hamilton and Leundis have dominated the Literary Contest, and the Hamiltons were nearing first place last year. Hamilton Literary Society EULEXIA E—stands for the earnest workers. U—stands for the perfect understanding among the members. L—for the leaders in the society. E—for the excellent standing of its members. X- x-traordinary achievements. I—stands for the ideal girls. A—for the ability the society possesses. O, the Eulexian girl is quite discreet, She is 100 per from head to feet; She's got that style, that smile, that winning way No matter where you go You'll recognize her and you'll say Now there's a girl I'd like to know ' She's got that good old East High pep and go, And just to look at her is sure a treat, Try to beat EULEXIA.

The organization is year by year striving first to promote literature, and second, to establish higher types of social activities. Even though it is the youngest society in the school, it tries as hard as any of the societies to win. However, its members do not regard the contest as their goal, but rather as the supreme and final test of their work during the past year. Sponsors were Miss Vee Flinn and Miss Harriet Northern. LITERARY CONTEST Friday, April 28, the literary clubs of East High School competed in the twelfth annual Literary Contest, with the Eulexia Literary Society emerging the triumphant victors. In one of the closest contests in the history of the school, Eulexia finished first with twelve points, the Hamiltons were right on her heels in second place, and Leundis, Kalailu, and Webster were forced to follow up with third, fourth, and fifth places respectively. There were no school-at-large entries this year. Orations were held in the morning in assembly, but the winners were not announced until the end of the contest that night. The Leundians were dressed in rose; Eulexians, in blue; Hamiltons, in white bush coats with blue ascot ties; Kalailu, in red and white; and Websters in boleros. Rousing songs and cactus-like compliments were exchanged by the clubs in a sportsmanlike manner. This was one of the greatest contests ever held at East. f Page Srventg-eighl Ranking Webster 1 Eulexia 2 Hamilton 3 Leundis.

The aim of the club is to develop a better appreciation of art and to give opportunity for creative activity. Various art programs were arranged for the club this year, and trips were made to the Nelson Art Gallery and other places of art interest. Members of the club helped paint the scenery for the Outburst and made wall hangings in Hungarian design for the Mid-Year play. A special activity of the club was the making of the ''Bear'' stickers for the athletic games during the year. Several members entered work in the National High School art exhibit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and others are preparing work for the competition for entrance into the National Art Honor Society.

CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY Students in the East High Auditorium on December 22, 1938, witnessed one of the most impressive Christmas assemblies ever presented there. A procession of one hundred white-clad choristers marched to a stage filled with beautiful green Christmas trees while the orchestra played softly the strains of Come All Ye Faithful. The first numbers sung by the assembled choir were Hohn's Green Cathedral, and “Nazareth, by Gounod. Bob Floyd read the Christmas Scripture lines preceding an old Hungarian folk song, Harken O Shepherds, sung by a trio composed of Dorothy Gaba, Antoinette Milazzo, and Mary Betty Claunch. Continuing, Hubert Cooke sang a solo entitled Birthday of a King, which was followed by the chorus singing Song of the Angels. Claudia Bumgarner sang Fairest Lord Jesus, an old German air. Other solos rendered were an old Catalonian nativity song, Three Kings,” by Loren Alice Heady and Martin Luther's Away in a Manger by Stanley Simmons. The succeeding number was Arkangelsky's beautiful O Gladsome Light presented by the chorus. In the selection by Bartlett, Mary Lois Bedingfield and Beverly McKinney each sang solos, as did Bob Floyd and F. B. Hudson in O Holy Night by Adorns. The chorus then joined in Herber's Hosanna. The solos were accompanied by Betty Rose Henthorn on the piano. Concluding this unusually effective program, the chorus sang Silent Night with an echo quartet sitting behind the stage, softly echoing the sweet refrains. PHYSICAL EDUCATION COACHES Now we are the fellows that run the team, Ours are all nightmares; • Nary a dream. Just as Notre Dame was made famous by its four horsemen. East is made famous by its four horsemen. Now, they don't make stirring touchdowns, stirring shots, or record time. In fact, many times they merely plod along, worrying, figuring, thinking, and all the time trying to get better results from the men on the teams. You've probably guessed it by now—the four horsemen of East are Messrs. Brown, Cohlmeyer, Coombe, and Esther. To you men, we give our thanks, and wish you, in years to come, luck and success, never forgetting that all the world loves a good sport. Brown, Cohlmeyer. Coombe. Esther CHEERLEADERS Razzle Dazzle, Sizzle Sazzle, Sis Boom Bah! We're the cheerleaders. Rah, rah, rah. After quite a large tryout early in the fall, Tinky Hickman, Swede Shornick, and Carlie LaManno were chosen to be the East cheerleaders for '38 and '39. Swede was named captain, as he was a second year man. All the boys were seniors, so Jack Coffey, a sophomore, was made alternate, to substitute and form a base for next year's cheerleading unit. As Tinky played basketball on the first squad, Jack became regular cheerleader after football season, for the remainder of the year. Hickman, Shornick, LaManno I Page Eighty-eight LaManno, Campbell, Spalding Castor, Garrett, Knapp Page Eighty-nine TEAM CAPTAINS It's the custom at East to elect Team Captains at the close of the season. In that way, the team can choose the most efficient player, the best sport, and the most-deserving man. During the season, different men serve as acting captains. Sol Gravino and Don Kumpy were co-captains for the '38 football season, Buck Cunningham and Don Kumpy were basketball co-captains, and Bill Earp was honorary pilot of the track squad. Gravino, Kumpy, Cunningham, Earp MANAGERS AND WATERBOYS The season started with one student manager, Jimmy Caster. Very soon, help was needed, so due to their ability, Willard Garrett and Bob Knapp were named as additional managers. They are unsung heroes, who expect no returns but work for the service of their school. This year, Frank LaManno and Vernon Spalding were the water boys. Tommie Milazzo started the season, but because of illness, was forced out. Though small, theirs is an important, very important role. Bobbie Campbell had charge of all the balls at a game and was responsible for their care and upkeep. PHYSICM FMICATinN Third Row: N.

Prior to that time, the team had been practicing—practicing hard, under their new coach, Mr. Roy Brown. Coach Brown brought to East an unfamiliar system of play, that of Pop'' Warner. In previous years, J. C. Cohlmeyer, now athletic director, has used the form of play invented by Knute Rockne. After Ottawa had beaten the Bears 12-0, East met Northeast on the Viking field, tying the score 7-7. That was the first league game of the season. Next came Wm. Chrisman, Bears vs. Bears. Again a tie, again 7-7. Traveling then to Kansas City, Kansas, the East eleven were beaten by Ward, 32-0. Central then played host to the Bears, where the Bruins lost their second league game, 7-6. The following week found the East squad on the Paseo field, where the Pirates cut the Bears' throat, 7-6. The highlight of the season came next, at Southwest. The undefeated, unscored on Indians played a tough game on a wet field. But the Bears came through and broke their no-score record, with a score of 7-6. The Indians got a very meager scalp on that venture. Ending the season in a close, thrilling game with Westport at Central, the score was 7-6. Summaries: East was only thirteen points out of championship ... No league opponent scored more than seven points . . . the East scores ran 7, 6, 0, 6, 7 . . . Don Kumpy rated all-star . . . Bob Gaunt, Ellis Clarke, and James Holland made all-star honorable mentions . . . Sol'’ Gravino and Don Kumpy were honored by their teammates by being chosen co-captains of the 1938 Football Team. To a swell team, to one that has upheld the honor of East, and to their coach—to you we say, Thanks. [ Page Ninety The picture to the right was taken a second after the East touchdown in the East-Southwest first-team game. It was the only goal ever scored on the undefeated, unscored on ('til then) Indians. Donald Kumpy, East all-star, carried the ball over the line. Page Ninety-one ] Back Row: Roberts, Netherton, Ham.

SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL The cubs started the season with the Vikings Jr., on the Northeast field, ending in standstill, 0-0. The game ended on the fifty-yard line, where most of the game was played. Central was next on the list, with a repetition of the score, 0-0. The Eaglets crossed the goal line once but the play was called back. The next three games with Paseo, Southwest, and Westport, ended in defeat for the Cubs, which brought the season to a close, 2 ties and 3 losses. Those that received second team letters were Byron Carter, Jim Casey, J. D. Copple, George DeNeen, Leonard Fincher, Bill Denny, Rocki Gravino, Phillip Ham, Bill Johnson, Bob Johnson, Francis McDonald, Jim Murphy, Max Reckart, Gene Roberts, Keith Shanklin, Gene Smith, Paul Williams, Bob Wilt, Joe Wrigley. Jim Murphy was elected as second team captain. PHfSICHL EDUCATIDH BASKETBALL For the first time in many years, the basketball season was climaxed in an assembly. On March 24, before the entire student body, the players, managers and cheer leaders were awarded letters to signify that a season had just passed—a season full of thrills—and a season for which East can always be proud. With two wins out of eleven games, one might scoff and laugh! But consider this: a new coach and a new system of play were introduced this year to a squad accustomed to another form. Starting the season out of town, at Warrensburg, the Bruins lost, 14 to 23. Then Odessa came to East, to be beaten in a very thrilling game, by one point, 30 to 29. With the first league game against Northeast at the Municipal Auditorium, East was beaten again, this time by only 6 points. On January 13 Ward beat East, at Ward, 30-17. The Knights from Southeast charged the East gym, but were defeated, 26-8. After two out-league games, the inter-scholastic games were resumed, and Manual won, 24-19. The Eagles of Central and the Bears of East had a claw-to-claw battle then, the Eagles winning, 19-17. The score of the East-Paseo game was 19-17, in favor of Paseo. Paseo has a powerful team and gained the 1939 Championship title by their superb playing. Twelve points stood between East and victory in the Westport game. The score, 32-20. The league season concluded, the last game of the entire season was with Ottawa, at East. Ottawa 31, East 28. Despite the losses, defeats and losing scores, the team of '38-'39 left a record, equal in ambition, perseverance and sportsmanship to no other team—ever. Two fellows were highly honored by their teammates, by being named co-captains. The captains of the '38-'39 basketball season were Donald Kumpy and Bob Cunningham.

Early in December they beat De LaSalle, 37-11. Then Odessa, 2-18. Northeast was their first loss, the score being 16-21. Ward was also a winner by one point. The score,10-11. The Cubs then defeated Southeast, 29-24. The team went next to Manual, where they won, 26-13. The green and black juniors played host to Central and beat them, 20-18. Then traveling to the Paseo court, they were beaten, 16-40. At Southwest they met similar fate, losing 20-26. Ruhl-Hartman were the next guests at East, losing to the Bears, 22-13.

TRACK TEAM At the time this Eastonian was issued, the East track team had proved triumphant over three of the inter-scholastic league schools. The first victory for the Bears was over Central by a score of 63 to 28. This is the first time in the history of the school that East has been victorious over Central. East's Big Three,'' Bill Earp, Bill Austin, and Fred Beckford, scored heavily for the Bears. Earp captured first in the 100, 220 and the broad jump. Austin finished second in 100 and 220, and Beckford placed first in the 440 and ran anchor on the winning relay team. Again in the Northeast meet the Big Three” forged ahead for the Bears. Each man repeated the events of the preceding week. The final score of this event was 54 to 37, this being the first time the East boys have outpointed the Vikings in many a year. The third victory for the East squad was over Southeast to the tune of 74 to 17. The Big Three again proved their ability, Austin taking first in the 100, second in 220 and running on the relay team. Earp took the 220 and the broad jump and anchored the relay team. Beckford took the 440 and ran third on the winning relay team. Although East has always been proud of its track teams in the past, the team of '39 is undoubtedly the best in the history of the school. Capt. Bill Earp, the broad jump flash, broke the state and city record at Southwest on May 4, by jumping a flat 23 feet. The old city record was 22' 9 . The world record is 26'. Several new school records have been set—one by Bill Norton in the high jump, going over at 5' 9 . The 440-yard school record, held by Fred McKenzie, at 55 seconds, was replaced by a new one of 53.6 seconds by Fred Beckford. [ Page Ninety-four INTRA-MURAL To those who are otherwise denied athletic activities, intra-mural sports offer splendid opportunities for enjoyment, development, and enrichment. Basketball constitutes a large portion of the intra-mural activities, being played almost all year 'round. Of course, in the fall and spring, touch football demands much attention, and during the winter months, ping-pong tournaments are held. For the basketball games, students who are members of the first squad coach and officiate. The Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes all have a representative team and the after-school games evoke much interest and enthusiasm. Touch-football is also an after school occurrence played back of the school on the No. 2 stadium. In the early spring, when baseball comes into prominence, teams are selected and compete, during class time, for the championship. Ping-pong, tennis, and golf are usually under the supervision of the student managers. Through intra-mural sports, not only does the individual profit in sportsmanship and technicalities, but very often, talent for school teams is brought forth. RELAY TEAM The East relay team participated in the Kansas Relays, taking second place. The 1939 relay team was made up of Bill Earp, 100, 220,'' and broad jump; Bill Austin, 100, and 220 ; Mancel Hanna, pole vault, and 220 ; and Fred Beckford, 440 and 220 man. Below is a glimpse of a daily practice. The boys practice just as if they were in a real meet, never forgetting that perfect practice makes perfect. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Miss Roads Miss Segelbaum GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Today girls are realizing more and more that form and a certain amount of correct exercise is essential in the development of a strong and healthy body, now as well as in later life. The girls' physical education department of East High School is among the best in educating the girls in greater care and in the proper use of their bodies in the years that are before them. Not only is the physical side of the question considered, but also the mental. In order to develop one's self in the physical sense, the girl must also develop her mental ability along these lines to be able to get along with other people, cooperate, be loyal to her fellow workers and citizens, be friendly and show good sportsmanship in the games. There is a plan used now by which those girls whose programs are too full to take physical education, but who are still interested in sports and games, may participate in them. After-school activities on Monday nights are for the freshmen, and Wednesday and Thursday nights are reserved for the upper classmen. This gives these girls, outside the department and also the ones in classes, an opportunity to play basketball, volley ball, baseball, endball, soccer, hockey, and also individual sports, such as aerial darts, hand tennis, shuffle board, etc. There are also sport days for the different games. The girls who are on the teams that participate on these days gain points for the awards that are given for a certain amount of points in a point system. These play-days among the different schools create friendliness of the girls and different schools in Kansas City. They also teach the art of sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation and loyalty. The girls that are elected captains of any of these teams receive extra points. The required points for the awards are: Small E ___________________________ 420 points Large “E ___________________________ 1000 points Gold E”____________________________ 2000 points The girls' physical education department produces grace and charm in the womanhood of tomorrow.

Paye Sinely-srven ] LULL RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS SERGEANT ALLEN Sergeant Allen came to East a stranger, but soon he won the confidence and admiration of all whom he led. He is every inch a soldier and every inch a gentleman. Welcome, and may your stay here be long and pleasant. MAJOR LEGRAND East has a very fine major this year, Louis LeGrand, who is commander of the East battalion. Major LeGrand is deeply interested in his work, and has been loyal and faithful to his charge He received a great honor, and certainly deserved it. Smith McDonald is honorary Major, having served last year. THE MISSION OF THE R. O. T. C. The purpose of the R. O. T. C. is to qualify selected students for positions of military leadership, and appointment as reserve officers to preserve American traditions, ideals, and institutions, including a sane policy of national defense. The R. O. T. C. is a school for citizenship. It supplements our academic courses by affording a training of great value as a preparation for the callings of civil life. It lays a foundation for good citizenship by inculcating habits of precision and orderliness, discipline, self-control and resourcefulness; and by promoting good physique, correct deportment, patriotism, and respect for constituted authority. QUEEN AND PRINCESSES As is the custom at East, a queen and two princesses were elected from the student body by the R. O. T. C. unit. All the school waited anxiously to hear the results. At last they were announced. Popular Dorothy Benton had been named queen and serving her as princesses were jolly Rose Marie Mueller and pretty Stella Hiltebrand. Amid loud congratulations and laudings, all one could hear from the girls was, Gosh, I'm happy. [ Page Ninety-eight Mueller, Benton. Hiltebrand MAJOR LEGRAND OFFICERS The activities and policies of the East battalion are often decided upon by the officers of the unit. Here at East, commissioned officers rank from cadet major, down to second lieutenant. The battalion commander of '39 is Cadet Major Louis LeGrand. Captain Gene King acts as his executive officer. Captain of Company A is Kenneth Gibbs, and of Company B is Bennett Coulter. Bill Stark, Bob Wendell, Clifton Erickson, Harold Rogers, Bob Allen, Don Nevins, and Harry Sherman are lieutenants. Coming back next year will be Lieutenant Don Nevins. RIFLE TEAM The rifle team of 1938-39 was not the best that East has produced, nor was it the worst. Six matches were fired. Of these six, three were won. The season closed with a heart-breaking defeat, in the city match, at the hands of Central. The final score was 347, Central; 345, East. The members of the team were: Captain King, Lieutenant Lane, Sergeant Hale, Sergeant Weaver, Lieutenant Erickson, Lieutenant Stark, and Captain Coulter. The first five competed in the city match.

C. calendar was the Armistice Day parade. Lieutenant LeGrand, now the Major, was acting commander. R. O. T. C. BALL On March 25, the East unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps sponsored a dance. It was commonly and informally referred to as the army hop. But quite to the contrary, social conduct is a part of the cadet's training, the dance was exclusive, only unit and band members being present. The coronation was held at that time, and Dorothy Benton, chosen the 1939 Queen, was escorted by Major LeGrand under an arch of crossed sabers. Following were Stella Hiltebrand, princess of Company A, escorted by Captain Gibbs, commander of that company; and Rose Marie Mueller, princess of Company B, escorted by Captain Coulter, of Company B. All this was to the accompaniment of orchestra music. The climax was the crowning and the presentation of flowers to the girls, who would reign over the rest of the dance. Distinguished visitors included Major Burr P. Irwin, P. M. S. T.; Major Dugan, Assistant P. M. S. T.; and several instructors from the other schools. R. O. T. C. CIRCUS As a climax to social activities of the R. O. T. C. schedule, all schools in Kansas City, having R. O. T. C. units, and certain select ones from out of town, presented an R. O. T. C. circus. East presented three different squad drills, simultaneously. INSPECTION Inspection will be held after publication date, but we feel sure that the name of East will be upheld HELD DAY Field day also occurs too late for an Eastonian record, but again we feel confident that the army boys will come through. SEVEN SISTERS” The Edith Ellis production, Seven Sisters, furnished the school much entertainment this year. The cast was almost equally divided, there being six boys and eight girls. The entire plot centered around a wager made between the middle sister and a young man whom she had met at the convent from which she had run away. The lively action started the very minute the curtain rose and continued throughout the production.

EWTEHTMNMEIITS OUTBURST The 1939 Outburst featured an unusual and complicated setting. The show took place on the grounds of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. The theme was the showing of the circus acts to the seven Ringling Brothers who were contemplating the purchase of the show. This was a very outstanding performance in the field of amateur production. The set was designed by Merwin Elwell of Yale University and executed by Mr. Broadlick and his Stage Crew, with the aid of Jay Doten of the Resident theater Miss Crawford and the art staff furnished their artistic ability in the painting of the scenery. The committee in charge of the program was headed by Miss Burton, who was backed by the efficient staff composed of Miss Baker, Miss Clausen, Miss Roads, Miss Crawford, Miss Cannon, Miss Reid, Miss Segelbaum, Miss Tarbet, Mr. Broadlick, Mr. Cohlmeyer, and Mr. Ryder.

In a light, humorous story of mistaken identities, two pairs of twins and two beautiful ladies on a balcony, combine to make a lively, sparkling action prevail throughout the entire production. There is a slight air of tragedy during the play, but it ends happily. The play was presented in Elizabethan manner with a background of delightful music.

It is their job to handle the props, and to build anything necessary for the scenery, making certain that it is stable, and strong enough to hold those who will be using it. It is also necessary for them to know how to handle spotlights and how to place them for correct lighting. Certain members of the stage crew have charge of the public address system and must know the fundamentals of the operation of this intricate piece of apparatus.

PUBLICATIONS FACULTY ADVISORS Miss Varney Mr. Nichols THE ADVISORS Combining forces for two of the most important school undertakings are the art, commercial, and English departments, each doing its bit to contribute to the success of our annual and our bi-weekly newspaper. Under the direction of Miss Dorothy Varney and Mr. Garland Nichols, Eastonian advisors, and of Mr. Nichols, Echo advisor, the literary staffs are chosen by competitive elimination. Miss Agnes Crawford supervises the selection of the art staff, their work consisting of mounting pictures, making cuts, and rendering suggestions in planning the annual. The business, mainly making sales, securing advertisements, etc., is competently managed by Miss Minnie Baker, and Mr. Vol Gene Edmondson. In connection with our year book, Mr. W. M. Grube capably arranges for group photographs. - ( Page One Hundred Fourteen COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department of East High School is one of the most valuable in the school. Through this medium students take the necessary training to prepare themselves for positions in the world of business after graduation. In the second year shorthand classes, to receive a ‘‘100 award is indeed an honor. Those having qualified for this are: Virginia Sympson, Marian Voorhis, Marie Souther, Cleo Goin, Jesse Campbell, June Stanton, Joyce Jenson, and Peggy Davis. For first year work the following girls have received ''60 awards: Glenda Gillespie, Loren Alice Heady, Rose Marie Boyd, Lucille Farris, and Shirley Haynes. Harriet Beatz, Ruby Switzer, and Warren Collins have received pins for artistic penmanship. In the second year typing department on ten-minute tests the following girls have typed above 60 words per minute: Betty Coleman, Marie Gann, Margaret Davis, Jean Jones, Dorothy Gaba, Vivian Guorroto, and Laura Doane. Those typing above 50 on fifteen minute tests are: Margaret Ann Neff, Virginia Schmidt, Cleo Goin, June Stanton, J. K. Johnston, Glenda Gillespie, Marion Voorhis, and Mary Betty Claunch. Marilee Woodward, Leonelle Sexton, Betty Whitescarver, Charles Trent, Virginia Lee, Carrie Lee Harger, and Naomi Coale have all typed 50 words per minute on ten minute tests. They are first year students. These ratings do not include tests given during the months of May and June. COMMERCIAL CONTEST At the annual city-wide Commercial Contest held at Westport High school April 15, 1939, East was represented by twenty-seven contestants. In typing East made an excellent showing, winning first place with both first and second year teams. Each team was awarded a cup which will be placed in the school trophy case, and to them went the honor of attending the State Typing Contest at Columbia, Missouri. Our first year team was composed of Marilee Woodward, Carrie Lee Harger, Leonelle Sexton, and Naomi Coale. Marilee Woodward had the distinctive honor of winning a fountain pen and a medal as the fastest, and also the most accurate first year student. Margaret Davis, Laura Doane, Patricia Lavery, and Jean Jones constituted our second year team. Margaret Davis was also awarded a fountain pen for being the most accurate among the second year typists. The practical typists in both beginning and second year teams ranked second, while the advanced and beginning shorthand teams placed third. Our bookkeeping team finished in second place. Paa One lltuniret Fifteen ] ACTIVITIES SPEECH DEPARTMENT The speech department of East High School, under the expert direction of Miss Cecile Burton, is worthy of high esteem. During the year they aid many deserving causes throughout the city, including the American Royal and the charities drive by providing speakers and entertainers. The charities speakers this year were: Armand Spizzirri, Virginia Schmidt, Conrad Snow, and Bob Shornick. The orator representing East at the American Legion Oratorical Contest this year was Armand Spizzirri. The mid-year play was Seven Sisters, by Ferenz Herzeg, translated by Edith Ellis, and “Comedy of Errors by Shakespeare was the senior play. On March 18 the Public Speaking class gave a forum discussion in assembly, Resolved that the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. Those who participated were: Louise McNamara, Althena Olson, Jerry Worsfold, Roy McKee, and David Hastings. The speech department provides much pleasure and entertainment for the entire school throughout the year. HOME MAKING DEMONSTRATION The style show of 1939 was presented in assembly March 31, under the able direction of Miss Beneta Reid and Miss Cecile Burton. This year a departure was made from the conventional method of displaying garments. It was a short playlet, with the scene in Madame Suzette's Dress Shoppe. Garments made and modeled by the girls of the clothing classes were displayed to patrons, members of the speech department. A humorous element was contributed by the entrance of that incorrigible youngster, Baby Snooks, and her harried daddy. All voted this one of the most successful style exhibitions ever presented at East. ART HONOR SOCIETY The Art Honor Society of East High includes the finest artists in the entire school. Because last year's members were chosen after the Eastonian had gone to press, their names are the ones which will appear here. Lionel Golston and Chester Harden, as chosen by outside judges, were named as the best artists at East. Jack Harrington and Mary Louise Wilson ranked in second place. In third were Bob Cohlmeyer and Roy Degenfelder, and Anita Eldridge received honorable mention. This was an unusual situation since there were ties for the three highest positions. Remaining members of the Honor Society were: Bob Allen, Patricia Bicknell, Luther Clardy, Betty Coleman, Bob Cowling, Kenneth Gibbs, Norman Hoopes, Bob Laster, Betty McCoy, Irene McLeroy, Bob McMillen, Seymour Mouber, Helen Pasek, Maxine Roberts and Dorothee Simmons. I Page One'Uumired Sixteen BAND AND ORCHESTRA DEPARTMENT The band and orchestra department of East High School under the most capable direction of Mr. Wendell M. Ryder is well known throughout Kansas City for its noteworthy accomplishments. The band plays for football and basketball games and aids mightily in urging our boys on to victory Because of its outstanding ability shown in the Armistice Day parade, this year the East band was appointed Regimental Band, and in that capacity played for the grand entry at the R. O. T. C. Circus, Field Day, and the Police Sportsman's Show. The orchestra provides music for the plays, P.-T. A. programs, the Outburst, National Honor Society ceremony, and commencement. Either band or orchestra faithfully plays for our regular weekly assemblies. East High School is indeed fortunate in having such a steadfast and loyal band and orchestra to guard and protect her. MAJORETTES This year marked the installation of a new activity at East High School in the form of the now well known East High Majorettes. Their first performance was at the personal appearance of the East band at the basketball games. They also took active part in the 1939 Outburst. They were aided in their strutting by Mary Vader of Ward High School, but all the baton work was done by the majorettes themselves. Their costumes are white satin trimmed with gold braid. All of the girls were seniors this year with the exception of Patricia O'Brien, who is a freshman. The other majorettes are Betty Lou Cunningham, Jean Jones, Rose Marie Mueller, Mary Fortin, and Wanda Lampley.

The marvels of electricity a half century ago were little known. Perhaps in just a few years, future generations will be saying that about 1939. But these new developments will only come with the welding of long range planning, research, large monetary expenditures and skilled man power into one closely knit unit. The wise expenditure of labor, time, and money has enabled this Company to meet the demands of this growing community for electric energy and the building up of an adequate reservoir for future growth. Research is constantly going on to increase the efficiency and to extend the helpfulness of electricity in all phases of life. And because of this desire to delve into the unknown electricity is helping increase the span of life, reduce human drudgery and make living more worth while. KANSAS CITY POWER LIGHT CO.

To the following persons we wish to express our profound thanks and appreciation: To Miss Varney, our literary advisor; Miss Baker, business advisor; Miss Crawford, art advisor; Mr. Grube, photographer; Mr. Nichols, who helped greatly with copy and literary material; Mr. Dew, of Holland Engraving Company, for his excellent advice and assistance in planning the annual; Mr. Smith, of the Smith-Grieves Printing Company, for his fine co-operation in printing the book; Mr. Haines, of the Haines Studios, for the taking of the Senior and class pictures; to every member of the faculty for their splendid spirit and co-operation; to our many advertisers, without whose assistance we would be unable to publish this book; and last, but indeed not least, to the many friends of East High, whose confidence we greatly appreciate, the Eastonian staff of 1939 closes its book with a simple, but deeply sincere word—' 'Thanks.''
